Bio of a recently deceased person who definitely does not pass WP:NPOL as he was an unsuccessful candidate for election. Head of a splinter party that won one seat in the state assembly. Existing sources confirm he was an unsuccessful candidate, that there was a leadership spat and that he died. A redirect to the article on his party was reverted but I think this would be an appropriate outcome. There may be other sources in Malayalam that I can’t find or analyse.

Keep on the basis of adequate references for WP:GNG The directory listing at https://www.electwise.in/politician/ambalathara-sreedharan-nair/ does not itself establish notabilty. Unsuccessful election candidates can still be notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:30, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I remember doing a speedy but it was saved. Doesn't need a standalone article. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 17:29, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ Delete fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG none of the four references in the article are indepth.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 02:52, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pharaoh of the Wizards: just checking that was really a “keep” vote as the rationale didn’t suggest it was. Mccapra (talk) 03:49, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Malayalam source Is brief and states the subject died.
My Neta A general site Lists and gives details about the all candidates contesting the Indian elections.
Deccan chronicle Is about a inner party dispute
Electwise A general site only states the candidate lost 2011 assembly elections.

None of them contribute to WP:GNG .Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 05:07, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom, for failing WP:NPOL. No clear path for a redirect, does not pass WP:GNG. Ifnord (talk) 20:32, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
